US EditionZelenskyy says he is open to elections if US ensures security
Zelenskyy says elections could occur within 60–90 days if US and European security guarantees are provided amid ongoing US-led peace talks and wartime conditions.
- On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine could hold elections within 60–90 days if security is guaranteed by the United States and European partners, adding 'I am ready for the elections'.
- Under Ukrainian law, elections cannot be held during martial law, which postponed the March 2024 ballot, while U.S. President Donald Trump raised the issue publicly, and Zelenskyy said, 'I am ready for the elections'.
- Practical hurdles include how people in occupied territories would vote, Zelenskyy asking Ukrainian lawmakers to prepare voting procedures for front-line troops and legislative changes.
- After shuttling between European capitals, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters, 'We are working today and will continue tomorrow . I think we will hand it over tomorrow.'
- With the aggressive Russian war ongoing, European Commission spokesperson Anitta Hipper said elections require right conditions, while Washington's proposals and security guarantees remain sticking points for Ukraine's allies.
